Matteo Darmian medical

The Italy international, 28, rarely made Jose Mourinho’s starting XI and now looks on the verge of leaving Old Trafford.

According to Italian publication Sportitalia, the two parties struck a £10.5million fee weeks ago.

They continue to add that Darmian was spotted in Milan today and will have his medical tomorrow in Turin.

Darmian could be one of multiple departures at Old Trafford as speculation continues over the future of Daley Blind, Anthony Martial, and Luke Shaw, while divisive midfielder Marouane Fellaini’s contract expires this summer.

Capello’s comments come shortly after Zinedine Zidane announced that he would be stepping down as Real Madrid coach, less than a week after leading the Spanish club to a third straight Champions League triumph.

“I think that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to go back to Manchester, to play for United and being coached by his compatriot Mourinho,” Capello told Sky Italia.

“Real Madrid would need to recover from Ronaldo’s loss in terms of goals scored. The only available name at the moment is Robert Lewandowski.”

Alex Sandro update

It doesn’t look like Chelsea or Manchester United will be signing Juventus star Alex Sandro.

The Premier League duo have frequently been tipped to sign the Brazilian full-back, whose contract expires in June 2020.

But reports from Italy say the 27-year-old has been offered a three-year extension with the Serie A champions.

Juventus will increase Sandro’s wages beyond his current £84,000 per-week.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic updates

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s agent is staying coy about the chances of the midfielder leaving Lazio.

Manchester United are in the hunt for Milinkovic-Savic’s signature as they look to bolster Jose Mourinho’s squad for next season.

Reports have claimed a mega £88m-plus (€100m) deal could be in the offing with the Old Trafford gaffer desperate to get his man.

Milinkovic-Savic is represented by former Serbia striker Mateja Kezman, best remembered in England for a sorry spell at Chelsea.

And Kezman has been discussing his client’s future with the transfer window now open and plenty of moves already in the works.

“We agree that it is one of the biggest products of the last season in Europe, but I do not want to talk about numbers,” Kezman told Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, when asked about Lazio’s £88m-plus valuation.

“It is clear that the figures are going up a lot right now, so…”
